Forget Cyclists，Pedestrians Are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from
our readers.
■Yes，many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are
disrespectful of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse
offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands
glued to the mobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around
them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian
crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just
stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for
the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important
than the welfare of others.
—Michael Horan
■I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May
29)．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went
round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and
wear helmets，fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in
the morning.They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing
them. —Carol Harvey
■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for
pedestrians)，ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a
special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement
when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users，including horse riders，manage to obey the rules
so why not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured，so when they
do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can
be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.
—JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
